1- Regression : for instance, a young wife might retreat to the security of her parents' home after her first quarrel with her husband
2- Projection : a person might hate someone, but his superego tells him that such hatred is unacceptable, he can 'solve' the problem by believing that they hate him.
3- Denial : for instance, smokers may refuse to admit to themselves that smoking have a bad effect on their health.
4- Rationalization : for example, when a student justifying his cheating on an exam by saying that everyone else cheats.
5- Compensation : when someone not good at athletics, puts all of his energies into becoming an academic scholar.
6: Undoing : for example, a man who gets a tax refund by cheating on his taxes, makes a larger-than-usual donation at the church collection on the following Sunday.
